❶ Symptoms And Treatment Of Candidiasis

Candidiasis, or in other words, thrush, is a fairly common fungal disease that affects the mucous membranes and skin. Perhaps candidiasis is one of the most common diseases of the female reproductive system. When the first signs of thrush appear, start treatment immediately. Location: Location: This disease is caused by a fungus of the genus Candida, which live in the human body constantly in small quantities and do not pose a health hazard. But with a weakening of immunity, the number of fungi increases, they acquire more aggressive properties and become the cause of the development of candidiasis. Thrush occurs unexpectedly and often comes back again, one has only to take a course of antibiotics or freeze on the street. Fungi of this genus enter a woman's body through close contact with the source of infection (sexually).

Anything that reduces the protective functions of the body can become the main factor in the development of candidiasis: chronic alcohol or nicotine poisoning, HIV infection, anemia, hypovitaminosis and other pathological conditions. Often, drugs cause the death of beneficial microbes and the reproduction of dangerous fungi. But more often candidiasis worsens after a course of treatment with hormonal drugs and antibiotics. Tight and synthetic underwear can cause thrush (especially in hot weather, as fungi prefer to thrive in warm and humid environments).

The main symptom of candidiasis in women is not subsiding and increasing itching in the vagina and perineum. Sometimes the itching torments the girls so much that it is impossible to sleep at night, irritation appears. There may be a burning sensation inside the vagina. White cheesy discharge, plaque appears from the genitals. You can see on the underwear peculiar grains of white, yellow or even greenish color, similar to cottage cheese. The smell of discharge is usually unpleasant, sour. Women may experience a burning sensation and cramps when urinating, pain during sexual intercourse. There is also redness of the external genitalia and the vagina.

Candidiasis should not be considered a harmless disease, as it very often gives relapses. It is impossible to get rid of thrush on your own and forever, uncontrolled and indiscriminate intake of antifungal drugs leads to the addiction of fungi to this type of drugs. Therefore, candidiasis worsens again and again. Thrush should be treated by a specialist, since each case requires an individual approach, long-term and comprehensive treatment (especially if the disease has passed into a chronic stage). In addition to the main therapeutic therapy, it is necessary to restore the vaginal microflora and strengthen the immune system.
